Game 2, Round 2 -- Card Games

1. In bridge, during the play phase of a hand, one player is trying to
   "make the contract" and is often diagrammed in the south position
   in books or articles about the game.  What is this player called,
   or what is his partner called?  Name either one.

	declarer, dummy

2. Bridge is derived from a simpler game that Edmond Hoyle famously
   wrote about in 1742.  Variants of that game are still played today.
   Name it.

	whist

3. You're playing bridge, or whist, or "oh hell", or hearts, or spades.
   Each player in turn plays one card from his hand, and one of those
   cards beats the others.  Then again each player in turn plays one
   card from his hand, and so on.  What is one of these rounds of cards
   called?

	a trick

4. In the game of hearts, on most deals, 1 point is scored against you
   for each what?

	each heart that you take in (or that you win)

	(This means each card of the heart suit in each trick that you
	win.  Exact wording not required, but both parts of the answer
	must be given.	You can prompt with something like "More specific:
	each heart that you what?" if appropriate.)

5. What is the type of poker called where each player is dealt one or
   more cards face down and his own individual set of cards face up,
   as seen, for example, in the movie The Cincinnati Kid?

	stud

6. What is the term for the face-down cards used in stud poker as well
   as in forms of the game such as Texas Hold'em?

	hole or pocket cards

7. In poker, what does it mean to "check"?

	to bet zero (but stay in the betting, as opposed to folding)

8. You can buy a deck of poker cards or a deck of bridge cards.
   Both decks contain the same 52 cards plus jokers, so what is the
   difference between them?

	size (poker cards are about 1/4 inch wider)

9. All card games for one person are often called solitaire or patience,
   but different games do have their own names.  The best-known solitaire
   game is the one where you build down in alternating colors on the
   tableau (you know, "red 9 on the black 10"); and you build up in suit
   and sequence from the foundation aces.  This game has several names,
   but the best-known one has a Canadian connection: what is that name?

	Klondike

10. Fifteen two, fifteen four, pair is six, and "one for his nobs" is seven.
    Name the game.

	cribbage
